    Cummins Returns, Henjak Rotates For Tornadoes

    Cummins Returns, Henjak Rotates For Tornadoes

    Australian Sevens flyer Nick Cummins will return to the ET Perth Spirit line-up for this Sunday’s clash against the Ballymore Tornadoes in Brisbane.

    Cummins injured a thigh in the ET Perth Spirit’s victory over the Central Coast Rays over a fortnight ago, and missed the team’s two recent home games.

    But he’s back to full fitness, and will play outside centre with Ryan Cross shifting to inside centre.

    Form scrumhalf Matt Henjak will start on the bench as part of rotation policy, with James Stannard beginning at No. 9.

    Tight head prop Troy Takiari also returns to the squad, coming in for AJ Whalley, while Southern Districts (Sydney) winger Jackson Mullane moves from the bench to the starting XV.

    ET Perth Spirit Head Coach John Mulvihill said the battle for the final four was wide open, with six teams in the running, and the Spirit had to keep its focus if it hoped to make the semi-finals.

    “I have asked all the players and staff to ensure they leave no stone unturned in our preparation this week so that we get the desired result,” Mulvihill said.

    “The Tornadoes are a far better team than the Aces, and I think it’s fair to say they have probably underachieved with the personnel they have,” he said.

    “Melbourne found them hard going last week and they beat the Fleet so it’s going to be a difficult contest in difficult conditions.”

    The squad is

    1. Gareth Hardy
    2. Luke Holmes
    3. Troy Takiari
    4. Tom Hockings
    5. Sitaleki Timani
    6. Scott Fardy
    7. Richard Brown
    8. Scott Fava

    9. James Stannard
    10. Scott Daruda
    11. Jackson Mullane
    12. Ryan Cross
    13. Nick Cummins
    14. Edward Jenkins
    15. Luke McLean
    16. Tai McIsaac
    17. Kieran Longbottom
    18. Luke Doherty
    19. Will Brock
    20. Matt Henjak
    21. Todd Feather
    22. Kane Allen

    Dan Bailey has done a hammy and is out for about 3 weeks I think. Too bad.

    so down to the last match - does anyone know why there wasn't live scores on the western force site. I didn't realise that Gerry was giving them out until I logged into TWF after the game had finished.... :-(
    Will there be live scores for next week's decider??
